We fine tune our estimates for MBRF after broadly in line 1Q26 results (see report). BRF Equity

margins surprised to the upside, driven mainly by strong international performance, and

management also noted improving trends in the domestic market throughout the

Key Changesquarter, with a slightly stronger start to 2Q. Feed costs are a tailwind for the rest of the

year, supported by the BRF’s corn sourcing strategy for the safrinha (2nd crop). In this (BRL) Previous Current
